Web Wiz Rich Text Editor v2 beta 1

after spending around 100+ hours over the last month on this I have released a beta version 2.0 of the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor, for you all to download and test.

You can download the new beta version at (it's the v2 beta 1 version):-

An on-line demo version can be seen at:-

The new version has many new features and is simpler to integrate, although at the moment there is only a simple readme file with some integration notes in it.

If anyone would like to write more comprehensive install instructions for the final version then please do and I'll include them in the final version, as good install instructions are never written well by the developer as I have to much knowledge of the system for novice users to understand what I'm on about.

New features include:-

• New look
• Improved loading speed
• Improved hyperlink, upload, attachment, emotion, etc. controls
• Special characters
• Table inserting for Mozilla based browsers
• Single line spacing for IE (IE usually does double line spacing in most RTE's)
• New open, close, save, print, horizontal rule, strike through, etc. tools
• Image, hyperlink, and attachment preview windows
• Server file browsing for uploaded server images and files (can only veiw certain folders for security and can be disabled)
• Can now be skinned to change the look and feel
  
• All features can be enabled and disabled from one text based file for easy setup
  

I haven't yet worked out away to create an image on a link and so far I have hit a brick wall on doing that after spending around 16 hours trying to come up with a solution.

I have considered a word cleaner, but I'm afraid that my knowledge of javascript isn't upto producing a word cleaner and I can find no refernces on how to build one on the internet so at the moment there are no plans to add one, unless something changes.

It should be relativly simple to modify the code to have support for flash/quicktime/avi files.

If I find time I may look into adding a Flash insert tool

Do you get the same error in Firefox, as the returned error message in IE is almost useless.

Firefox has a decent javascript debug console so you can identify the exact error and line that courses the error, which may help track down the problem.

I have tried to replicate the error but can not.
